My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Oh, what is it!"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Lin Fengshuo replied, "Speak freely!"

"Teacher, you..."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Lin Fengshuo and went straight to the point: "Could you... expel Zhao Sheng from the sect?"

Ok?

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Lin Fengshuo's smile faded slightly.

After noticing Lin Fengshuo's expression, Jiang Xiaobai stopped hiding it and briefly explained the mastermind behind Lanting Tower.

You see, he had never offended Zhao Sheng, but he remembered Zhao Sheng's underhanded tricks.

Including Zhao Bintian, who inexplicably hired someone to assassinate him.

According to his speculation, the two people are probably backed by the same person!

Last time at the Ministry of Justice, if it weren't for saving face for Lin Fengshuo, he definitely wouldn't have let Zhao Sheng off so easily.

Although Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bintian have now faded into obscurity, these kinds of people, if not eliminated, might resurface at any time.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation from happening again, Zhao Sheng must first break away from Lin Fengshuo's side.

This way, he could make his move more easily.

Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives were to exploit the situation and spread the word, it would turn into a case of brothers killing each other, which would inevitably have a huge impact on Lin Fengshuo's reputation.

"I never imagined Zhao Sheng would target you like this!"

After listening to Jiang Xiaobai's explanation, Lin Fengshuo fell silent. He knew that Jiang Xiaobai wouldn't joke about this matter for no reason.

After a moment, Lin Fengshuo looked at Jiang Xiaobai again and said, "Expulsion from the sect is acceptable, but ultimately, we need evidence!"

Ultimately, Zhao Sheng had followed him for many years, and if he were to be expelled without any reason, it would inevitably raise suspicions.

"evidence?"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Then I'll look for it!"

"Can!"

Lin Fengshuo finally nodded slightly: "As long as you have enough evidence, then your teacher will absolutely not favor him!"

"Thank you very much, teacher!"

Jiang Xiaobai stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Fengshuo.

Lin Fengshuo looked at Jiang Xiaobai and sighed helplessly.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

But if Zhao Sheng really did those things, he wouldn't have much to say.

For the rest of the time, Jiang Xiaobai spent some time chatting with Lin Fengshuo and Li Bingzhang.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Li Zhiwei again: "Zhiwei, shall we... go for a walk?"

"good!"

Li Zhiwei's heart beat faster, and her face under the veil blushed slightly. When she spoke, her voice was barely audible.

"Walk!"

With a smile, Jiang Xiaobai walked out first.

The two then walked out of the lobby together.

Zhang Xinnian, Tang Ningshuang, and the Princess followed at a distance.

Lin Qinrou glanced at him enviously from behind, but did not follow. She simply stayed in the lobby.

On the other side, Jiang Xiaobai and Li Zhiwei walked slowly along the long corridor of the Prime Minister's residence, neither of them speaking first.

"Oh, right!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai changed the subject, asking, "Where's your cousin?"

"I haven't seen him lately!"

Jiang Xiaobai was referring to Li Zhixing.

When the students of Qinglou caused trouble, Li Zhixing did help him to some extent, but he seemed not to have noticed Li Zhixing during his two visits to the Prime Minister's residence.

"My cousin has been busy clearing out the brothel lately!"

Li Zhiwei said softly, "More and more people are going there, and he's so busy he can't find the time to leave every day!"

Ultimately, Jiang Xiaobai's influence is also at play here.

The couplets that remained attracted many students and scholars to come and admire them.

In particular, Jiang Xiaobai's fame is growing, and people from outside Beijing are making special trips to see it for themselves.

"turn out to be……"

As Jiang Xiaobai realized what was happening, he didn't say anything, but his hand gently moved closer to Li Zhiwei and finally grasped her hand.

Li Zhiwei's body tensed up immediately, and she paused in her tracks.

But in the end, she didn't break free; she just lowered her head, her ears turning red.

Tell me...

Jiang Xiaobai noticed this and a smile played on her lips: "Have you missed me these past two days?"

Li Zhiwei nodded at first, but then quickly shook her head: "No...no!"

"Really not?"

"No!"

Li Zhiwei responded again, but her ears were noticeably redder.

"Haha, if you don't have it, you don't have it!"

Jiang Xiaobai burst into laughter twice: "Perfect... I wasn't thinking about you either!"

what?

Li Zhiwei looked up, her expression clearly momentarily stunned, then turned her head and replied, "Oh, then I didn't think about it!"

Anyone could hear the unhappiness in Li Zhiwei's words.

"Haha, just kidding!"

Seeing Li Zhiwei's expression, Jiang Xiaobai burst into laughter again: "I still think of you for a moment every day!"

Then, Jiang Xiaobai paused and said, "Every single moment!"

"oops!"

Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Li Zhiwei's face flushed red again. She quickly glared at Jiang Xiaobai and gave a soft snort.

Seeing Li Zhiwei's expression, Jiang Xiaobai smiled but his voice became serious: "By the way, about the Ministry of Rites..."

"I know!"

Before Jiang Xiaobai could finish speaking, Li Zhiwei gently interjected, "I'm not in a rush to get married!"

She knew what Jiang Xiaobai wanted to say.

Until the matter concerning the Ministry of Rites is resolved, it will be difficult to finalize the marriage between the two.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai clearly didn't want to investigate the matter concerning the Ministry of Rites so quickly.

As for the reason, she could guess a little.

"Really not in a hurry?"

Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it's...it's fine as it is now!" Li Zhiwei nodded.

"Why!"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai sighed and said, "But I still want to see what my future wife looks like!"

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Li Zhiwei's veil.

"What if it doesn't look good..."

Li Zhiwei looked up at Jiang Xiaobai earnestly: "Will you be disappointed?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and lifted Li Zhiwei's hand, his fingers slowly threading through hers until they interlocked.

Li Zhiwei stared blankly at their clasped hands, then Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out again: "No, you know me!"

"The thing I value most... is inner beauty!"

"That's good!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei's eyes curved into a smile: "Let me make this clear beforehand, I'm actually an ugly monster!"

"Ugly monster?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm!"

Li Zhiwei gave a soft hum, but her eyes were full of laughter.

"Oh, that's wonderful!!"

Jiang Xiaobai said with delight, "I'm easily embarrassed. If you're too beautiful, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking you out with me!"

"Being ugly is good; it saves you trouble!"

"Oh dear, you..."

Li Zhiwei felt both ashamed and angry. She raised her hand, intending to hit Jiang Xiaobai.

But before she could land, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Li Zhiwei froze instantly. Before she could react, she felt a light kiss on her lips.

Even though there was a veil between them, the sensation still made her heart leap into her throat.

The shyness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"Even though I can't see it, it still smells amazing when I kiss it!"

Jiang Xiaobai paused, then said, "This time there were other people watching, but next time... let's find a secluded place and give it a proper try!"

Li Zhiwei was taken aback, then realized something and noticed Zhang Xinnian and the others watching from a distance.

"Ugh, Jiang Xiaobai, you're so annoying! Who wants to try it with you!"

After Li Zhiwei realized what was happening, her face turned bright red again.

Jiang Xiaobai laughed heartily and ran out first.

Li Zhiwei stamped her foot, lifted her dress, and chased after him.

"Tsk tsk!"

Not far away, Zhang Xinnian watched this scene, his face full of admiration: "My young master is truly skilled!"

"snort!"

Tang Ningshuang gave a heavy, cold snort.

But as soon as the voice fell, a very soft, cold snort came from the side.

what?

Tang Ningshuang's expression froze for a moment, then she silently looked into the distance, pretending not to have heard.

But couldn't this princess remember that she is deaf and mute...?
